What botanical oils are used? Is this listed as an acceptable product for organic agricultural use?
These are the precautions per the label: -May cause eye and skin irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Protective eyewear and nitrile or other chemical resistant gloves are recommended, particularly when handling concentrate. Applicator should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. Remove clothing immediately if the product gets inside. Wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Remove PPE after handling this product. Wash the outside of the gloves before removing. -Do not use, pour, spill or store near heat or open flame. -Do not use product in conduits, junction boxes, or other electrical equipment because of possible shock hazard. -Product contains botanical oils that are inherently fragrant. When used in confined spaces, prolonged exposure to the scent may be objectionable to some individuals. Clean up residual product to diminish scent. -Product diluted per the label has not stained, discolored or caused damage to painted or varnished surfaces, fabrics, or other surfaces in testing. However, test treat a small non-visible area and allow to dry, to determine whether staining or discoloration will occur. If overspray lands on any sensitive surfaces (particularly plastics), simply rinse with water and wipe off with a clean cloth. Liquid soap may be used for clean up if needed. Concentrate will likely damage susceptible materials such as thin plastics. -Product has not shown phytotoxicity in testing when used as directed, but all plant types have not been tested, so if concerned about particular plant sensitivity, test treat a small area first and wait 48 hours to determine if burning occurs. -Product should not be applied directly to surface water. The botanical oils that are used are thyme oil, rosemary oil, 2-Phenethyl Propionate, Polyglyceryl Oleate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Wintergreen Oil and Isopropyl Myristate. This product is not labeled for use on edibles.
